Downloading and building the H264 Streaming Module for Nginx (version 2)

Dependencies

For more information on downloading and installing Nginx, please read the official getting started instructions.

We will be using version 0.7.9 of Nginx.

cd ~ 
wget http://www.nginx.eu/download/sources/nginx-0.7.9.tar.gz tar 
zxvf nginx-0.7.9.tar.gz

Download

Download the source of the H264 Streaming Module for Nginx.

cd ~ 
wget https://github.com/code-shop-com/h264/blob/main/download/nginx_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.7.tar.gz
tar -zxvf nginx_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.7.tar.gz

Build

Run configure in the Nginx directory with the following additions to the commandline.

cd ~/nginx-0.7.9 
./configure --add-module=$HOME/nginx_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.7 --sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin --with-debug

Make and install Nginx.

make 
sudo make install

Configuration

Edit the configuration file (in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf) so that file requests ending in ".mp4" are handled by the 'mp4' command. Add the following lines (around line 43).

location ~ \.mp4$ { mp4; }

Start Nginx.

sudo /usr/local/sbin/nginx
